I would just like to take this opportunity to thank all those who made it possible, not the least of whom is Ernest Borgnine, while at the same time underscoring the importance of my accomplishments of rapidly submitting wholly unreadable comments which were — to the surprise of no one — lacking any substantive value.

Time for me to call it a morning.
I’ve run out of nothing about which to comment.
I bequeath Ann’s piemento spread to the commenter of the 1,100th comment, with confidence it will be more highly-deserved in anyone else’s hands other than mine.

Any day now we are going to see Obama doing a sham wow commercial.Is it me or the lower he goes in the polls the more we see him on TV.Yesterday just for fun i turned on MSNBC and in 1 hr.they talked about Obama or showed him 9 times.

Did you see what Pamela posted on her blog just tonight? It seems Obama’s Organizing for America is trying to recruit a few good little Marxists… in a high school in Ohio. I don’t know but, for what it’s worth, check it out.

This could be big.

Newton, I’m going to send this to Andrew Breitbart, unless you already have. Andrew needs a new site called BIG EDUCATION to out all the schools and teachers that push this crap.

Anyone else wonder why the security issues make it too difficult for the Obama’s to attend church on Sunday but there seems to be no problem with him attending a basketball game with a whole lot of drunk rabid sports fans?

Obama’s Organizing For America is becoming entrenched in universities and are co-opting events, organizations and holidays. On MLK Day they had an organized walk through most of the neighborhoods in our Big Ten town to collect food for the local shelter. The buttons had the Obama-Pepsi logo stretched across an outline of our state.

While they were not handing out pamphlets it had the look and feel of a political campaign with 2 teams of 2 walking down both sides of the street knocking on each door.

They have also participated in the “take back the night” walks, and scores of other events but wear their little buttons to differentiate themselves.

Who can fault a person for contributing their time to help various charitably causes, but their is a subtle political agenda at work. Participation is not as an individual per se but rather as a representative of a political movement. The net result is to subtly politicize public events and causes as a platform for Obama.

So it’s okay to have a blatantly political organization like Organize America recruiting in our schools (and with a ‘safe schools czar’ the word recruiting really does have two relevant meanings) but not okay for the US military to recruit in those same schools. Liberal hypocrisy in a class by itself.

It’s sad, really, that one, he had to have a scripted question to inject politics into the situation, and two, even at a meaningless basketball game, he has to lie. Nothing about his visit to the Republican caucus was about going to the right. He went there to lecture them about not going left.
